Werd I did too but my budget was half of what I got back from my part-out. The rest went to tuition/other toys :o. I've had my fun with the car already though... already at 110k miles. Think imma switch the wheels over to something more luxurious - looks rather sporty currently

What do you guys think about running a EDM plate behind the rear license plate? Had it for almost a year now but its just been sitting there. Thiknin bout slappin it on after I get these EDM headlights

Looks good Johnny!

Are you going to get the Kenstyle rear or Mugen rear next?

BTW yes I think doing the EDM plate is a great idea!

Relax killer.

It's either a Kenstyle or Kenstyle replica.

Thanks for the kind words

The volks were sold this past weekend.. got something in the WORKs

Front bumper is a kenstyle replica. I'll be bringing it in the body shop to get the emblem part chopped off and resprayed in the coming weeks

i honestly liked your last setup better, that shit was hands down, gangster..

seems to me you're going for a more luxurious route.

I'm agreeing with the masses, the old set up was much better. What I think really doesn't clash well was the Mugen side skirts. They don't seem to seam into the Kenstyle bumper now the rear lip. Just my 2 cents.

I actually think the mugen sides go pretty well with the front/rear. I might be to some 06+ aspec sides in the near future since I recently cracked my right side, not bad after touch up but its noticable and it bothers me.

In any case, thanks for comments, good or bad - always appreciated. I feel like the Volks is what clashed with the kits.
But, good news is, the volks were sold this past sunday, and the new wheels are on. These look a lot more luxurious, and fitment is more aggressive than the previous setups.
18x8 +36 front 18x9 +42 rear

Car is acutally a little lower than seen. pics were taken as soon as i lowered it off the jack
